I like both Baby Facial and Good Genes, and use both - but for me, the fact that this is a mask means I use it less, maybe two times a month.
(Just a minor note on facial oils like these - I have pretty dry skin, and I’m not a fan of facial oils like this one or Sunday Riley’s Luna Sleeping Oil - maybe in the dead of a cold winter I would want them, but right now they just feel way too heavy for my skin.) Babyfacial is a bit different than Good Genes in that it is DEFINITELY not a daily product - it’s a mask that stays on for 20 minutes before you rinse it off. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum, their vitamin C product and their Virgin Marula Facial Oil. I heard readers singing the praises of this one, and was thrilled last year to find a Drunk Elephant value set at Sephora last year that had their T.L.C. I’ve also read that you can use Good Genes as a 20-minute mask if it’s too intense as an overnight treatment for your skin. Time: 30 seconds before bed - note that I’ve also seen that you can wear this during the day if you want to, but only with lots of sunscreen - I already wear lots of sunscreen and wouldn’t wear this product during the day, but that’s just me.

Perfect for all skin types and all ages, this treatment is enhanced with licorice for brightening, Good Genes clarifies, smooths, and retexturizes for instant radiance.” With continued use, the appearance of stubborn hyperpigmentation and the visible signs of aging are reduced for a healthier-looking complexion. Fine lines appear visually plumped while the skin looks more radiant. Purpose: From Sephora’s website: “Good Genes All-In-One Lactic Acid Treatment is formulated with high potency, purified grade lactic acid that immediately exfoliates dull, pore-clogging dead skin cells, revealing smoother, fresher, younger-looking skin. I’ve seen some things saying it’s OK if you wait 30 minutes between applications, but I never remember after 30 minutes have passed.Ĭost: $105-$158 if purchased by itself (Sephora, Nordstrom, Anthropologie) - this value set at Nordstrom also looks great Another minor con for me: I typically alternate using my retinol product with a product like Good Genes. It doesn’t smell BAD to me, but it does have a distinct, maybe medicinal kind of smell. I just ran out of the 0.5 oz bottle after using it solidly for almost 10 months (not sold separately, but you can usually find it as part of a gift set like this one), and for me, getting a smaller gift set (rather than a bigger product) is worth it because a) I feel like when you’re working with acids you want to pay attention to shelf life (I can’t find the info for Good Genes but for Drunk Elephant products they note the shelf life is one year after opening) and b) you get to try other products as well.Ĭons to Good Genes: Price - and, for some people, the smell. Pros to Good Genes: The time involved is very minimal (spread it on before you go to bed, wash your face in the morning), and the payout is pretty great - my skin looks more radiant and just generally has a healthy glow. While I think that’s true, for me this is not an “everyday” product because it makes my skin a little too shiny, and I feel oily rather than youthful - it’s something I’d use one or two times a week. I got Sunday Riley’s Good Genes after I heard readers talking about the shocking effect that just a single use of the product can have.
